If you make a big enough stink over an unwanted mode , it probably will disappear but we wont get any replacement .

We lost scouting mode and Protect VIP mode . That was a valued part of this game . I dont log in to play skirmish mode only .


YES I want incursion in the roster .

I can appreciate some people enjoyed scouting, and I don't think it needed to be axed as a separate que, but escort? like really?

Nothing wrong with incursion.
Except the apparent nigh high gluteus maximus pain.
It generates when people play the mode instead of being seals.
Speaking of Assault do you guys want to get rid of that one also?

yup, the mode is just that, it's painful and unnecessary. I mean f*** it, I'll run past the enemy like an idiot and shoot some buildings, ignore the enemies crying that we are out base killing them, so I can get out of this garbage asap and hopefully into siege, just keep in mind, these types of drops, NOBODY is happy, and if we get 2 in a row a lot of people tend to log off.

Assault is fine, it lets you end the drop when some last alive a**hole decides to piss everyone off by hiding in a light somewhere in zimbabwe (in this manner it's actually preferable to skirmish), you can also actually stop an assault cap unlike an incursion base rush

I wish they would create a separate que for incursion, so that people who enjoy it go run past each other there, while the rest of us can fight robbits

Try QP I hear it's a squabble every time

[K O Z A K]

I play qp with my drunken alt sometimes, it's terrible. Incursion in FP is the epitome of QP type gameplay. At least when people nascar in QP it's not by design, people run past the enemy because they are selfish and stupid, in incursion, running past the enemy is the actual meta. All of QP is like a driving simulator by mistake, incursion is pretty much a driving simulator by design

[Novakaine]

Yeah I see your point walking into a firing line of Blood Asp and Mad Cat II's.
Piloted by some the best players in the game must be the newest thing.
You guys are the very reason why FP is such a wasteland.
But collectively are to arrogant to even admit to yourselves.
I maybe selfish, but far from stupid.
Enjoy the rush.

[K O Z A K]

What do you hope to accomplish by continuing to change the subject? And to what? Grouping up in FP = bad?

Given the overall health of the game FP can hardly be called a wasteland

Dump incursion and bring back conquest @ 1750.

[Bowelhacker]

I'm going to out myself here as an actual incursion supporter. Keep it in.

Lol whut?

[BROARL]

perhaps incursion would be better recieved if there were planets to win or something?
dunking could serve a point or whatever? so that the wait time was not wasted.
make one of the phases scouting and incursion if you are bothered...

@PGI thanks for trying

[dario03]

I vote we replace incursion with scouting.

Or escort, I'd prefer escort in FP over incursion. At least it's over quick

Just about every mechwarrior game i played had some form of escort mission . Players still get a vote which game mode to play .

I enjoyed protecting that Atlas that seemed to be piloted by the town drunk .

I assume you hate it because you cannot hide behind a rock or nascar ?

I play this game to shoot human-piloted mechs with friends. Not to stand in squares (Conquest). Not to shoot buildings before the other team shoots mine (Incursion). Not to watch a stealth light run into a square as a timer expires (Scouting).

Objectives are fine as long as they're asymmetrical (Siege) so both sides have just enough something to be concerned about that makes shooting other mechs more interesting and those objectives cannot easily be rushed.

I'll never understand people that would prefer to base rush over shooting human-piloted machines. Why would you need a group of people to do this with? There's a lot of single-player games out there if shooting NPC-stuff is your cup of tea.

Oh yeah, hiding behind a rock and nascaring are like my favorite things to do in this game

Escort missions were fine for single player. Escort in mwo was terrible

[Katrina Steiner]

Just take incursion, make it playable only on Polar Highlands. Next add in a VIP mech that roams around each base and has a decent weapons loadout so it can actually shoot back. Now drop in the conquest cap points for good measure. Its just chock full of goodness.

[Khalcruth]

But...but...without Incursion, how else will we get a W/L ratio above 0.50? I mean, it's impossible, right? No one can win more than one in four of their games by out-shooting the enemy. NO ONE.

VIP would have been amazing in FP.

[Rustyhammer]

There are VIP mechs on both teams pretty much every FP game.
They have real pilot names to confuse the other players but can be easily singled out by erratic movement patterns and habits of shooting terrain or through friendly mechs, just like turrets.

If you like Escort that much, just pick one of these drones and protect it.
